There was one forkProcess lurking in test.hs, and that seems to be
responsible for recent buildd failures on amd64 and armhf. I was able to
reproduce it pretty easily on amd64, and even once on i386, and it was
clearly that same bad old threaded runtime hang. So removing this
forkProcess should fix it. Odd that it lurked for some months before
popping up.
Setting GIT_INDEX_FILE clobbers the rest of the environment, making git
not read ~/.gitconfig, and blow up if GECOS didn't have a name for the
user.
I'm not entirely happy with getEnvironment being run every time now,
that's somewhat expensive. It may make sense to just set GIT_COMMITTER_*
and GIT_AUTHOR_*, but I worry that clobbering the rest could break PATH,
or GIT_PATH, or something else that might be used by a command run in here.
And caching the environment is not a good idea either; it can change..
webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
This is heuristic, but it's a pretty good heuristic, and can always be
configured.
Both when queueing downloads, and uploads, consults the preferred content
settings.
I didn't make it check yet when requeing failed transfers or queuing
deferred downloads; dealing with the preferred content settings (or indeed,
other settings) changing while the assistant is running still needs work.
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
Makes it safe to use git annex unlock with the watcher/assistant.
And also to mix use of the watcher/assistant with regular files stored in git.
Long ago, I had avoided doing this check, except during the startup scan,
because it would be slow to run ls-files repeatedly.
But then I added the lsof check, and to make that fast, got it to detect
batch file adds. So let's move the ls-files check to also occur when it'll
have a batch, and can check them all with one call.
This does slow down adding a single file by just a bit, but really only
a little bit. (The lsof check is probably more expensive.) It also
speeds up the startup scan, especially when there are lots of new files
found by the scan.
Also, fixed the sleep for annex.delayadd to not run while the threadstate
lock is held, so it doesn't unnecessarily freeze everything else.
Also, --force no longer makes it skip the lsof check, which was not
documented, and seems never a good idea.
At recommends it causes avahi-daemon to be pulled in on upgrade, which is
just too annoying to deal with avoiding on servers. MDNS is needed for
robust peering, but probably most desktop systems have it anyway; it's in
task-desktop.
This means that anyone serving up the webapp to users as a service
(ie, without providing any git-annex binary at all to the user) still needs
to provide a link to the source code for it, including any modifications
they may make.
This may make git-annex be covered by the AGPL as a whole when it is built
with the webapp. If in doubt, you should ask a lawyer.
When git-annex is built with the webapp disabled, no AGPLed code is used.
Even building in the assistant does not pull in AGPLed code.
This fixes a problem I was seeing in the assistant where two remotes would
attempt to sync with one another at the same time, and both failed pushing
the diverged git-annex branch. Then when both tried to resolve the failed
push, they each modified their git-annex branch, which again each blocked
the other from pushing into it. The result was that the git-annex
branches were perpetually diverged (despite having the same content!) and
once the assistant fell into this trap, it couldn't get out and always
had to do the slow push/fail/pull/merge/push/fail cycle.
The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed from
SHA256 to SHA256E, to simplify interoperability with OSX, media players,
and various programs that needlessly look at symlink targets.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=SHA256
Avoid crashing when "git annex get" fails to download from one location,
and falls back to downloading from a second location.
The problem is that git annex get calls download recursively from within
itself if the first download attempt fails. So the first time through, it
writes a transfer info file, which is then overwritten on the second,
recursive call. Then on cleanup, it tries to delete the file twice, which
of course doesn't work.
Fixed both by not crashing if the transfer file is removed, and by
changing Get to not run download recursively like that. It's the only
thing that did so, and it just seems like a bad idea.
This reverts commit abde98cda2.
Temporarily dropping from master, since this actually uses stuff
that's only currently availble in the assistant branch. Will come back when
I merge that, and can wait..
Had to switch to toWaiAppPlain to avoid a seeming bug in toWaiApp;
chromium only received a partial copy of jquery. Always the same length
each time, which makes me think it's a bug in the compression, although
a bug in the autohead middleware is also a possibility.
Anyway, there's little need for compression for a local webapp. Not wasting
time compressing things is probably a net gain.
Similarly, I've not worried about minifying this yet. Although that would
avoid bloating the git-annex binary quite so much.
Note that here I don't need blaze-markup for cabal to succeed, but Jimmy
reports he does. Seems like Text.Blaze.Renderer.String moved from blaze to
blaze-markup in some version.
Converted from using c2hs to using hsc2hs, just because other code
in git-annex uses hsc2hs.
Various cleanups.
This code is LGPLed, so I had to include that licence.
Using Crypto's version of the hashes would be another option.
I need to benchmark it. The SHA2 library (which provides SHA1 also,
confusing name) may be the fastest option, but is not currently in Debian.
This *almost* works.
Along the way, I noticed that the --uuid parameter was being accidentially
passed after the --, so that has never been actually used by
git-annex-shell to verify it's running in the expected repository. Oops. Fixed.
In order to record a semi-useful filename associated with the key,
this required plumbing the filename all the way through to the remotes'
storeKey and retrieveKeyFile.
Note that there is potential for deadlock here, narrowly avoided.
Suppose the repos are A and B. A sends file foo to B, and at the same
time, B gets file foo from A. So, A locks its upload transfer info file,
and then locks B's download transfer info file. At the same time,
B is taking the two locks in the opposite order. This is only not a
deadlock because the lock code does not wait, and aborts. So one of A or
B's transfers will be aborted and the other transfer will continue.
Whew!
Note this is per-remote, so trying to get the same file from multiple
remotes can still let duplicate downloads run. (And uploading the same file
to multiple remotes is not duplicate at all of course.)
get, move, and copy are the only git-annex subcommands that transfer
files, but there's still git-annex-shell recvkey and sendkey to deal with too.
I considered modifying retrieveKeyFile or getViaTmp, but they are called
by other code that does not involve expensive file transfers (migrate)
or that does file transfers that should not be checked by this (fsck --from).
Accept arbitrarily encoded repository filepaths etc when reading git config
output. This fixes support for remotes with unusual characters in their
names.
For example, a remote with a url of /tmp/çüş was previously
skipped, because the filename wasn't encoded right so it didn't think it
was available. And when setting the annex-uuid of a remote named "çüş",
it used to add it under a mis-encoded form of the remote's name. Both these
cases now work ok in my testing.
Prelude.undefined error message was introduced by
bb4f31a0ee.
It seems best to filter out local repositories that cannot be accessed
from the list of remotes, rather than keeping them in and making every
thing that uses the list have to deal with remotes that may have an unknown
location.
Besides fixing the error message, this also makes unavailable local
remotes' names not be shown in various messages, including in git annex
status output.
Also, move --to an unavailable local repository now avoids some ugly
errors like "changeWorkingDirectory: does not exist".
Was decoding the git-cat-file of the symlink target as utf8, but that can't
do, unix filenames are from the 70's and need this shiny disco
fileSystemEncoding.
Could not reproduce the build failure I had seen related to this,
but the numbers were wrong with statfs64. Probably pulling from the wrong
place in the structure. statvfs seems to work..
The commit thread now has access to a channel containing the times of
all uncommitted changes. This lets it be smart about detecting busy times
when a batch job is running (such as rm -rf, or untarring something, etc),
and avoid committing until it's done. While at the same time, instantly
committing one-off changes that the user is going to expect to see
immediately.
I had to use STM to implement the channel, because of
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4154
While this adds a dependency, I always wanted to use STM, so this actually
makes me happy. ;)
Also happy that shouldCommit is a pure function, so other commit smartness
strategies can easily be played with. Although the current one seems pretty
good.
There is one bug, for some reason it does double commits, every time.
This ensures that all special remotes show up in git annex status.
Before, a special remote that was not manually described, and was not
a current git remote, did not show up there, although initremote did list
it.
Anything that tries to open the file for write, or delete the file,
or replace it with something else, will not affect the add.
Only if a process has the file open for write before add starts
can it still change it while (or after) it's added to the annex.
(fsck will catch this later of course)
Resetting an unlocked file to the branch head failed if it had just been
added, not committed, and unlocked, since the branch didbn't have it.
The code was concerned about dropping any changes that might be staged in the
index, but I cannot see why.
The environment needs to override git-config. Changed when git config is
read, and avoid rereading it once it's been read.
chdir for both worktree settings.
Baked into the code was an assumption that a repository's git directory
could be determined by adding ".git" to its work tree (or nothing for bare
repos). That fails when core.worktree, or GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are
used to separate the two.
This was attacked at the type level, by storing the gitdir and worktree
separately, so Nothing for the worktree means a bare repo.
A complication arose because we don't learn where a repository is bare
until its configuration is read. So another Location type handles
repositories that have not had their config read yet. I am not entirely
happy with this being a Location type, rather than representing them
entirely separate from the Git type. The new code is not worse than the
old, but better types could enforce more safety.
Added support for core.worktree. Overriding it with -c isn't supported
because it's not really clear what to do if a git repo's config is read, is
not bare, and is then overridden to bare. What is the right git directory
in this case? I will worry about this if/when someone has a use case for
overriding core.worktree with -c. (See Git.Config.updateLocation)
Also removed and renamed some functions like gitDir and workTree that
misused git's terminology.
One minor regression is known: git annex add in a bare repository does not
print a nice error message, but runs git ls-files in a way that fails
earlier with a less nice error message. This is because before --work-tree
was always passed to git commands, even in a bare repo, while now it's not.
Amoung other things, this makes unlocking a WORM backed file and then
re-adding it without making any changes not add a new object, as the
timestamp is preserved.
